| The herbal medicines in this category are listed below by indication-group, with cross-references to the related pharmaceutical class categories where the parallel exists. The list is in progressive build as the monograph pages are written; redlinks indicate herbs in scope but not yet drafted. | | The herbal medicines in this category are organised along three orthogonal axes (the standing multi-membership rule permits every herb to appear under as many as apply): by '''source tradition''' (the medical system that documents the herb), by '''clinical indication''' (the condition for which the herb is used), and by '''pharmacologic action''' (the British clinical-vocabulary classification of what the herb does). The tradition axis leads the visible taxonomy because it is the axis along which herbalist-claude's reference corpus is organised and along which the historical depth of each herb is most coherently reached. |
